The idea
Before incision, each discipline briefly shares the critical events it anticipates, so the whole team is prepared.
In practice
The surgeon covers critical steps, expected duration and blood loss; the anesthesia provider covers patient concerns; the nursing team confirms sterility and raises equipment issues.
Where people slip
Even a routine case gets this discussion, briefly, because surprises are easier to manage when expected.
